[Although the bit about liking to hear him talk about his friends has Avdol 100% guaranteed flustered, he's not going to let it stall him! The reality is that they're probably going to embarrass each other a lot, and that's fine. It's really, really okay if it's Abbacchio saying shit that flusters him; then, it just hits different.
And it's not like the sentiment's mutual. Hearing people talk about their friends and family, about things they're passionate about...That's when they shine, when they're at their most beautiful, and of course Avdol wants to see more of that from his damn new Boyfriend. Which is probably why there's something a little extra doting in his expression as he watches Abbacchio talk, gross.
(Even if he pegs that Bucciarati is the one person who provided that calm space, before Reimi and before him. That's alright. Some petty, shitty baby part of him's a little jealous, but it's by and far outweighed by relief and gratitude towards this man he'll never meet.)] Ah, so I do know your friends! Not Bucciarati, but I've talked to Mista about curses and whatnot...He stresses out a lot, doesn't he? And Narancia! I like him. He's wonderful; very eager to learn and better himself, which is brave. I admire him a lot, to be honest...You don't have to worry about being a role model for him. He'll pave his own way.
[Avdol hums, squeezes their hands together a little tighter.] Bucciarati sounds like a hell of a man, though. He means a lot to you, doesn't he? To all of you.
